There are some very beautiful things in this book. There is loss, grief and pain to deal with. The decisions people make. There is something going on with OCD but it is really subtle and very important but it is not the main characters problem. There is love, hope and the existence of soulmates. There is beauty.
But the flow in the book is off. I liked the idea of going out Sam going without communicating. How will he find a way in this world where communicating is so important. I had expected to read more about the influence of this on his life but most of the story is about the emotional struggle he is going trough. As with all emotional struggles the story is difficult to follow.
I liked the graphics. Important things where more detailed attracting attention to it. The city was easy recognizable in the drawings even more blur. I did not always find the typescript easy to read.
